Hi,
Java is designed to be independent of the underlying hardware platform.
In general, Java uses operating system services and hides them behind
its portable interfaces. So, normally, Java can only use services that
are provided by the operating system.
Filesystem issues are clearly an operating system task. The normal way
to use remote filesystems is to make them known to the operating system
(via nfs or others), then Java automatically can use them, too.
There is an alternative way to completely circumwent the operating
system. In theory, you can implement the nfs mechanism in Java. But
notice that this means you have to implement yourself remote procedure
calls, the external data representation, and nfs itself. Unless your
needs are very, very special, I strongly recommend not to try this,
since it is work for months, if not years.
